Dreaming of Being Drunk

drunk, intoxicated, wasted · mostly negative, with one exception

Being drunk on hard liquor warns of trouble; being drunk on wine, by contrast, brings success in love and business.

What happens in the dream

  • You're drunk on wine: success in trade and love, and rich aesthetic experiences
  • In general: a dream urging you to steer your thoughts toward healthier things
  • You're drunk on hard liquor: excess, lost employment, and the temptation to compromise yourself
  • You see others drunk: unhappy times for you and those around you

How you felt

  • Loss of control: the dream often reflects a fear of being carried away
  • A wish for lightness: perhaps a desire to let go

Ask yourself

  • Where do I feel I'm losing control?
  • What would help me unwind in a healthy way?
